Awwwwww! Mashallah! An istikhara is the prayer of guidance and that guidance can come from anywhere- existing feeling getting stronger/weaker, random comments from that may sway you away/towards the situation and dreams that may show you signs/make you feel like the situation is good/bad for you. Ultimately, by making this prayer, you are humbling yourself to the mercy of Allah SWT and asking for his guidance.

The fact that you’ve done several istikharas as has he and you still feel okay is a good sign, inshallah. I did one and am content with how I feel alhamdulillah. The rest is up to Allah SWT anyway. It may be that an istikhara for marriage is good and the couple marry but that doesn’t work out- even that’s good because it was meant to be and teach the couple something.

I’d say do bismillah, get your elders involved, if it makes you feel better, ask them to do one on your behalf (in case your feelings are influencing you) and go ahead with it by having your belief in Allah SWT. He truly works in mysterious ways

Mashallah, I know I’m getting carried away but I’m happy for you and everything you’re experiencing so far

Thank you so much, I have a good feeling about this alhumdulillah, but you’re right my feelings may be biased so I might ask my dad to do it.

I’ve waited a long time for this, so just feeling a bit hesitant about it being “too good to be true”, hence the istikhara.
